"My name is Paul Menno Jr., and I am a 2019 graduate of Rowan University’s HES program. I am currently a graduate student in Rutgers Doctor of Physical Therapy program projected to graduate in May of 2022. I wanted to take some time to thank Rowan's HES program for providing me with the tools to not only graduate with the highest of honors in the HES program and receive the Dean of Outstanding Senior Award but to excel in my current graduate program. Rowan gave me new tools to further education and encouraged me to fine tune the skills that I already had within myself. I want to personally thank Gregory Biren, William Peifer, Dylan Klein, Mehmet Uyger, Nick DiCicco, Jessica Gibb and many other professors for their dedication to education and passion for the subject matter that they taught. The HES faculty has gone beyond the role of just educating students on subject matter. They have pushed me to become the best academic, peer, and professional that I can be and instilled in me the idea that the application of learning and memorization is the key to true realization. They have showed me what it truly looks like to be a professor of the highest caliber, and I hope to be a part of Rowan’s incredible HES department someday. Additionally, I want to thank my advisor, Jeanine Dowd, for making my transition into Rowan and graduate school as smooth as possible. Thank you Rowan University and its Exercise Science program for investing into me so that I may be able to invest in the lives of others as a future Doctor of Physical Therapy."
